SRINAGAR, Apr 17: Imtiyaz Ahmad Khan, a young lawyer, who was shot dead by unidentified gunmen at Pinjoora village in Shopian last evening, was laid to rest at his ancestral graveyard there today.

Survived by his parents, wife and two small children, Imtiyaz was abducted by the gun men when he was returning to his home after offering late evening prayer at a neighbouring mosque. Reports said the gunmen told him that they wanted to show him some papers and subsequently abducted him. He was shot dead later.

Reports said that the slain lawyer was not directly or indirectly associated with any political party or group. He was a government lawyer in the past. Locals said Imtiyaz was not involved in “any political activity” and had remained focused on his work. They demanded a probe by concerned quarters to reveal the conspiracy behind his killing and justice to the affected family.

A pall of gloom descended the village after the mysterious killing of the young lawyer. Large number of people today visited the bereaved family to offer their condolence and they also joined his funeral.
